Hello, Reward3! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Hello! I have edited the submission, removing the "peacock language." I hope this version is more suitable. I had wanted to submit it to you all, Teahouse, or some of the wonderful folks in the Help Space but couldn't find the intermediary "save" mechanism without re-submitting. Headed to Teahouse!

Resubmission

I know how busy everyone is: thank you SO much for the alert about style and viewpoint. I believe my recent changes mitigate your concerns, by removing the florid adjectives and adding government-vetted references to size Mr. Powers' contributions. He was a remarkable builder of communities and people, and would have been extremely excited to know this page is in the works. Thank you for all of your help!

Any feedback on my Pike Powers submission

Greetings All -- Just to be clear: I am not being paid for this. It is a labor of respect to honor Pike Powers, one of the great builders of this region. Does anyone have any feedback on the resubmission. Is it okay? Thank you! Raye Reward3 (talk) 14:15, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pike Powers (January 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by TheChunky were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pike Powers and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pike Powers (March 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Pbritti was:

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

There are other more minor issues, mostly associated with my inability to affirmatively confirm the existence of the references. The addition of links using the url= function in the web citation template would be very helpful!

Thank you so much for your edits on the Pike Powers submission. Yours and the other reviewers' work has made it a better piece, such that it takes in a bigger picture than the personal. Thank you! Raye

p.s. I hope the resubmission reflects this. Reward3 (talk) 17:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pike Powers (May 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by FormalDude was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Too promotional.

Photo Permissions contact.

Folks, I've lost track of how to contact the Wikimedia folks who removed the photos I was securing permissions for, which requires going through the news editor to his lawyer. The photos were taken down within a week, and I'd like to get back to the Wikimedian who directed me to the legal form. I get the necessity of this, I've just lost the navigation and the person's handle. Thank you! Reward3 (talk) 23:58, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
